◎課程要求：
1. Discussion is as well expected and encouraged, for a course full of lectures would damp not only the students' interests in literature but the teacher's enthusiasm in having a dialogical relationship with you guys.
2. Attendance is the base of your class performance, without which students will lose 20 % of your final score. Three absences from class, with no satisfying cause, will mean failure in this course.3
3. The whole class will be divided into groups of 5-6 for class activities. |
◎成績考核
課堂參與討論20% : Class discussion will be held. Students have to prepare for the study questions as offered beforehand before the class begins.
小考30% : Quizzes are given and marked to see if the students are finished with reading the required texts.
期中考25% : Fact-based midterm is to be held on the tenth week, plus some essay questions to be answered.
期末考25% : final
補充說明：1. Tips for the course: Understand the text(reading), talk about the text(class discussion), and then write about the text(written reports).
2. Study questions for each work will be given in advance before the section begins, so that students will have enough time to chew over the questions before they come to the class. Of course, they should always finish reading the covered texts before they can talk about them. |
